Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 1492: calm before the storm

It should have been the best time to blow the counterattack horn, but it became the time for everyone to quietly accumulate strength.

In fact, from another point of view, there is no guarantee that the strength of any front can penetrate the demon coalition army. Only by integrating all the forces together and coordinating attacks from various aspects, and defeating the demon coalition forces, can there be a chance of victory.

Since there is no fight, the human side is happy to have more preparation time and gather more troops.

According to intelligence, the door to the abyss in the center of the demon-occupied area is completely opened. This means that there is no limit to the entry and exit of ordinary demons, that is to say, the war potential of the demon side is the entire abyss.

As for where the half-orcs came from, no one wants to delve into such a question. The separation between the surface world of Midi and the underground world is not as clear as that of Midi and the abyss.

Maybe there is a cave between the mountain depressions, if you go deep, you can connect to the underground world. Otherwise, the residents of the underground world would always be able to dig to the surface world if they dug hard towards the top of their heads.

But the underground world is not like the surface, you can travel around without hindrance.

The underground world is divided into many isolated blocks. The only way to communicate with each other is through teleportation magic, or artificially digging channels. However, the latter is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the channel may not be maintained for a long time.

Therefore, it is not difficult for well-informed people or kings of various countries to know the origin of this half-orc mixed with demons. What other tribe's half-orcs could be drilled out of this area.

Of course, there are several half-orc tribes headed by the Fire Axe who love the art of explosions. Now that the origin is clear, then I have a bottom line in my heart about the number of opponents, the direction they are good at, etc.

The only worry is how many women were captured by the demon coalition forces in the early stages of the war? These females all have the opportunity to become seedbeds for half-orcs to breed.

Half-orcs have a relatively short gestation and growth period. If it really dragged on for a few years, the data on the orc intelligence would have to be doubled several times before the kings of various countries.

For such a war, if it can be resolved quickly, I believe no one is willing to delay.

But the reality is that when the gate of the abyss was discovered, the alliance of demons and orcs had already become a reality. In contrast, the response on the human side is not only slow, but also makes mistakes in decision-making, causing things to tilt in a worse direction.

So in the minds of those in power who have far enough vision, they expect this will be a protracted and time-consuming war. Even... Midi is not without the possibility of falling, everything depends on the strength of the abyss side's invasion.

In an instant, a war that was supposed to be in full swing fell into an inexplicable calm. The turbulent waves turned into an invisible undercurrent, and the kings of various countries had their own plans. Even the emperors of the empire have their highly talented thinking problems.

But there is one question that flashes through most people's minds, but it doesn't stay long before it is covered by more realistic questions that are close at hand. And the original question was, how did the door to the abyss open?

There are many possibilities for the opening of the gate of the abyss, man-made and natural evolution, but the process has always been gradual. Even if a gap between the lost land and the abyss suddenly appeared in a certain corner of the mountain, and this gap slowly transformed into a portal.

However, in the process of such transformation, there will be many signs to remind people to pay attention to. Including demonic characteristics of monsters and ordinary beasts, large areas of plants are abnormally dry and dead, and mutations of newborns and cubs.

The adventurers who are exploring everywhere actually have a considerable function to monitor the places where the brilliance of this civilization cannot shine. It's not all about going to a certain place to fight, kill, eat, drink and dawdle.

Such a function does not necessarily have an exclusive investigative task. Sometimes it is included in other entrusted tasks, because the situation of returning to the place along the way is recorded by the adventurer's guild.

The integration of these intelligences may not be able to cover the entire Obscurity, but it also monitors most of the areas.

A certain person's forum monitoring system under the name of 'Listen to Truth' was actually being carried out earlier. It's just a different way, and the efficiency and difficulty are not ideal.

It is logically impossible for the naturally occurring door of the abyss to grow to the level of the door in front of you without being discovered, and even allow the demon coalition forces to prepare for the war in the early stage.

In addition, the location where this door opens is not a remote area with few people.

Perhaps the adjacent human settlements were not large. But a large group of living people really didn't notice the abnormality, so they let the gate of the abyss grow so that the demons could cross the boundary and slaughter them all?

Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that this door is artificial, and it is possible to grow explosively in a short period of time. And let the devil be prepared, and start to gather troops and find allies as soon as they can cross the realm.

It is even reasonable to suspect that behind this whole thing there is a 'traitor', a mastermind behind the scenes.

But even if someone thought about this problem, it would be put aside. The demons are coming before your eyes. Does it make sense to find out who is behind the scenes? Even if he really found that person and killed him, would he be able to change the status quo?

The threat of demons has already existed, and the gate of the abyss has been opened. Maybe after all this is dealt with, it makes sense to ask how it all came about.

Now pursue it, do you think it is not troublesome enough? Blowing up this 'person' who doesn't know if he can deal with it, is it possible to cause unpredictable consequences. Even if a person with a heart seeks the answer to this question, he is cautious and sneaky.

As for whether this behind-the-scenes manipulator has other plots, causing more harm to Midi?

This is the invasion of the abyss, Midi is about to fight a plane war with the abyss, what will be the 'bigger danger'? If there is an answer to this question, it will actually arouse the interest of knowledgeable people.

Blow up the lost land directly? This is not in the interests of the devil.

Lead the demons to conquer the lost land and become a new generation of demon kings?

The abyss itself is in chaos, and the demons will work together when they are lost?

Not to mention that there are half-orcs, in the underground world, betrayal and conspiracy are everyday. Whoever wants to be the devil king will first have to deal with the two specialists in backstabbing, demons and orcs.

Thousands of years ago, the main body used by the demon king to conquer the lost land was an army of undead without strong subjective consciousness.

But the Laughing Devil is in chaos inside, so why not the human side.

In this war, the attitude of the most critical Sulitang Empire was ambiguous, and several wrong decisions seemed to be given away for nothing. The Great Khan of the Empire has already colluded with the devil, which is what most people worry about, but they dare not question what is said clearly.

Now, the offensive of the demon coalition forces has been suspended, allowing the human side to have room to breathe. In the three directions that the demon coalition forces can attack, there are troops guarding the east, west, and south.

Unless the devil crosses the high mountains in the north and surprises the Khan Court of the Suritang Empire. Otherwise, no matter which side they attack, they will run into the defense line run by the human side.

Although in terms of the strength of the current defense line, it may not be able to stop the full attack of the demon coalition forces. But as long as it can be held back, follow-up support will come up, and the demons will not be swept away like a flood, everyone is still sure.

Besides, the troops in the other two directions may also take advantage of the gap to relieve the pressure on the defensive direction. This kind of tacit understanding does not need to be discussed in advance.

As long as something happened, relying on the speed of information transmission on the forum, even if the high-level troops of the other two sides didn't want to make any moves, and just wanted to wait for the fight, both sides would be hurt, and they would be suppressed by the people below.

Fighting demons is the righteousness of the land. The only reason why they didn't go up to fight was that they were not fully prepared. They might waste their lives but fail to kill a demon. This was purely a loss-making business. But if there is a chance to pick up a bargain, who can bear it?

But the reality is that nothing happened. Everyone is still accumulating strength.

As far as the human side is concerned, follow-up support continues to arrive, and the defense force is becoming more and more sufficient. Continue to grow, and the time for counterattack will come.

What is puzzling is, what is the devil waiting for? Waiting for more demon armies to emerge from the gate of the abyss?

According to most people's thinking, the best way to fight the combined forces of demons and half-orcs who have already descended from the abyss lord is to let the lord lead the army to charge. That must be like a broken bamboo, which can be broken wherever it is hit.

But such a combat method is impossible for those who really touch the high-level people. The Lord of the Abyss dares to show off his power in the land of obsession, and he really thinks that the gods of the land of obsession are vegetarians.

Even in a heads-up situation, few gods are sure to win against an abyssal lord, but this is the home field of the lost gods. Even with the firewall of the guardian lord, the gods cannot descend in person. But those who use beatings in different ways can still send the abyss lord back to his hometown.

Even if the good gods are not enough, the evil gods will come to join in. Who told everyone that they were all heroes of the dark age after cleaning up. Everyone worked so hard to get Midi into today's situation, not to hand it over to the devil.

And the Lord of Guardians hasn't shown up yet! The real strongest man in the land of obscurity hasn't made a move yet.

It's just that compared to the confrontation outside, the treacherous situation in which all parties are playing tricks on the inside. In the mansion in the holy city of Estali, another drama is also being played out.

Although Rowan and Kish did not escape the attack of the pursuers in the end, the half-orc team that caught up at the first time was not their opponent. By the time the demons wanted to make a move, they were already too late to catch up.

But Ezio who took the initiative to be the rear and intercepted~www.wuxiamtl.com~ is treated completely differently. The demon heads that he regards as important evidence have been replaced one by one. What was finally delivered to the counter of the Adventurer's Guild was the head of a great demon.

In exchange, although he kept the two legs he used to escape, he lost his left hand. The Hidden Blade was also destroyed, but the blade grinded by Dragon Fang was not so easy to be destroyed, so it was rescued by Ezio.

In other words, if it wasn't for him trying to save Dragon Tooth and Sword Blade, he might not have suffered such serious injuries. But if he hadn't snatched back the Dragon Tooth and Sword Blade, perhaps he would not be able to escape that catastrophe afterwards.

The right ear is gone; although the right eyeball is still there, a terrible scar that almost splits the head runs through it, and it is impossible to retain a trace of vision. The left cheek was cut from the corner of the mouth, and it looked like he was grinning all the time.

Not to mention the innumerable scars all over Ezio's body.
